Aston Villa midfielder Marc Albrighton will miss the second leg of England's Under-21s European Championship play-off in Romania.

Albrighton is struggling with a minor groin complaint.

The 20-year-old came off the bench in the 2-1 win on Friday night at Carrow Road, but did not travel with the rest of the squad out to Botosani.

England Under-21 coach Stuart Pearce had also seen Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere join the senior squad ahead of their Euro 2012 qualifier against Montenegro at Wembley, but will not be calling up a late replacement and is reduced down to just 19 players.
